Even if you’re nothing but a King of the Q, taking 20 minutes to mess around in the flour and baking powder is a great way to sneak in some quality Daddy time while teaching your kids their way around the kitchen.

Banana Bread is a dead easy thing to do. I mean, who doesn’t like mashing up bananas? You can use the potato masher, the back of a fork or if they really want to get dirty, let the kids squish em up with their fingers.

There’s nothing dangerous about this recipe, mix the wet and dry ingredients separately, then mash them together and stick ’em in a pan in the oven. You don’t need any electrical appliances and, most importantly, you don’t need any skill. That makes this the perfect daddy / toddler time recipe.

Toddler/Dad Friendly Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

What’s your favourite thing to make with your kids in the kitchen?
